Li Lianjie played Zhang Wuji, subverting the image in the book. He is still an upright gentleman, but he has also become cunning and ambitious. In order to take revenge, he is a bit unscrupulous. It is estimated that if the next film is made, he can be an emperor. Weiya hangs too much, but there are very few real actions. He also fought with Cao Rong a few times. Most of them are still Weiya, so it is said that Jet Li is very dissatisfied, so there is no sequel. Zhang Sanfeng is played by the fat man Sammo Hung, who is full of foul-mouthed and short-tempered, more like an old urchin than a generation of masters. Qiu Shuzhen's Xiao Zhao is so festive in red and has a dirty hairstyle, but she is naturally incapable of anything, she is still very beautiful and has a lot of scenes. Zhang Min has made a lot of movies, especially with Zhou Xingchi. She has always felt that she is not a big beauty. It turns out that she is more suitable for ancient costumes. It is quite charming to wear male makeup. Although it is a bit contrived, it is still pretty. Gigi Lai's Zhou Zhiruo also has a good appearance, but inexplicably turned black and appeared completely as a villain. There are also gold medal supporting roles such as Wu Zhenyu, Wu Yaohan, Cheng Dong, Cao Rong, Lin Zhengying, Liang Jiaren, Qin Pei, Zou Zhaolong, Xu Jinjiang, Tian Qiwen, but because they all wore hoods and beards, many people did not recognize them. Lin Zhengying and Qin Pei also There is Cheng Dong, who has absolutely no idea who it is. Look bad.
The original book is very long, and it is completely condensed into the movie. It is inevitable that many deletions and adaptations will result in a lot less plot. At the beginning, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu brought Zhang Wuji back to pray for his birthday. Zhang Sanfeng angered the Empress Dowager, and they both killed themselves, leaving Zhang Wuji who was caught in the palm of Xuanming. Zhang Wuji was framed by Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo, and he and Xiao Zhao both fell into a cliff. After exiting the customs, I encountered a wonderful program of six major factions besieging Guangmingding. After fighting Shaolin and rebelling against Wudang, he served as the leader of the Ming sect. When he met Yin Liting, his legs and feet were discounted, and when he asked for medicine, when he met Zhao Min, he was forced to agree to three things. First went to Shaolin, then went to Wudang to rescue Zhang Sanfeng, and after fighting the two elders of Xuanming with Taijiquan, Zhao Min left floating, leaving behind the legend of the sequel.
In fact, I think the adaptation is quite successful. At least Zhang Wuji doesn't look like a fool. He is always cheated, so he looks like a normal person. I feel that the investment is still quite large, and there are some whimsical ideas. After falling into the cliff, the fire foreman Tuo encountered was embedded in a large stone, and it was very creative to turn the stone to move. Then there is the battle between the six major factions and the Five Elements Flag. Let’s not talk about whether it is exciting or not. Just so many extras is a lot of expenses. Let’s do some music to complement it. The fight against the Shaolin Dragon is the real fight, but it's quite short. In the end, he used Tai Chi to fight the two elders of Xuanming, and it was a real fight.
There are also funny ones, such as Zhang Sanfeng, who is cursing. For example, Huashan Er Lao perfectly predicted the scandal of the Red Cross. The disadvantage is that there are too many Wei Ya, all of them are not flying eaves and walls, but cultivators who are flying in the sky, and Yi Tian Jian also has its own sword qi, and the Blue Wing Bat King is not outstanding in light power, but in a different position. In the end, when the second elder Xuanming was beaten, the Xuanming Divine Palm simply had its own freezing function, and finally broke the copper bell. It's too exaggerated, so the box office is not satisfactory.
In fact, I really hope there will be a sequel, but it's a pity that it is a classic.
